In my conclusion, I indicated that user tracking was still a useful tool for a company, as long as it was ethical and respectful of users.</p> <p>However, very often, I see that Google Analytics is used by the sites I browse on. It is far (even very far) from being respectful of your users&rsquo; data. Even worse! You allow Google to know the activity of your site from end to end and to know how to better target its ads (among others).</p>https://tferdinand.net/en/gafam-smile-you-offer-your-data/Tue, 18 Feb 2020 07:33:00 +0000https://tferdinand.net/en/gafam-smile-you-offer-your-data/<p>GAFAMs, they are everywhere, sometimes clearly visible, like when you go on <a href="https://www.google.com/">Google</a>, sometimes much less so, like for example Amazon which owns the <a href="https://www.imdb.com/">IMDB</a> site.</p> <h2 id="what-are-the-gafams">What are the GAFAMs?</h2> <p>I make this little point for those who don&rsquo;t know what the GAFAMs are. What is commonly called GAFAM are none other than :</p> <ul> <li><strong>G</strong>oogle</li> <li><strong>A</strong>pple</li> <li><strong>F</strong>acebook</li> <li><strong>A</strong>mazon</li> <li><strong>M</strong>icrosoft</li> </ul> <p>These five companies now largely dominate the Internet, and it is very difficult to really do without them.</p>
